Dental implants are the fixed permanent solution for missing teeth. You don’t have to live with missing smile when you get dental implants.
Being a permanent solution, dental implants need some tender love and care.
Dental implants are fixed inside the jaw bone. We wait for a period of 3 months for the implants to get fixed inside the bone. Once it gets fixed, a dental crown or a denture is fixed upon the implants.
